Homeless Advice App

After seeing friends struggle to find a permanent place to stay, Steven Blair is helping homeless young people to access advice.

The 22-year-old and his team from the Scottish town of Kirkcaldy in Fife feel there’s a need to provide more immediate support for people who are currently homeless, or who are at risk of having nowhere to live.

‘Knowing people who have been left with no options other than sofa surfing or sheltered accommodation really affected me,’ explains Steven.

‘I think many people go through life with blinkers on.

'They don't always realise there are others out there who need our help.’

With Fixers, the group have been working on a mobile phone app, to enable homeless people to access support services in Fife.

‘Living Smart’ lists useful websites and local hostels and is designed to offer information around the clock.
